Dan Shor is an award-winning television/film actor, director, writer and teacher whose performing credits include such popular films as Air Force One, Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Tron, as well as such television series as The X Files, Judging Amy, Star Trek: Voyager, Star Trek: The Next Generation and many, many others.

Ben Salas is an actor and producer born in Hawaii whose family moved to Saipan in 1985. He has lived all over the United States and has traveled to Japan, Hong Kong and Thailand as well.

For the past several years, the two were pursuing their individual passions. Ben, through his Slingstone Music production, as well as his Todo Balé Freelance Martial Arts, and Dan, through his acting, screenplay writing, as well as being a film/acting teacher at NMC.

The two met in 1995 when Ben, pursuing his film degree and honoring gift as an actor, registered for Shor’s film class at NMC. The two, realizing they had a lot in common, became good friends and, in 2005, inspired by similar visions began a collaboration on a unique project. Their final creation, State of Liberty: Looking for America, is the pilot episode of a not-yet-created television series Shor and Salas envision as being Saipan's gift to the world of entertainment.

After seeing the film myself, I can attest that if you’ve ever wanted to show your friends, or to have a way to capture what life on Saipan is really like in a living breathing animated way (blogs don’t quite capture it all) you can send them a copy of this DVD. You’ll be treated to beautifully captured and familiar scenes from popular locations around the island, see life from every perspective imaginable...and even recognize some familiar faces. Almost everyone will see themselves represented in some way this film. (Even the Jamaican(s?) on the island). And, given Saipan’s size, you’ll probably be able to tell your friends, hey, I know this or that actor, or I've been here or there on the island.

Looking for America has been re-issued as part of the Passion Profit Company's SaipanLiving™ series. Enjoy it now!
